Best Answer

In general, the symptoms will include looseness in the steering wheel. As you turn from left to right, you will notice that there may be 1/8th, 1/4 turn of the steering wheel before the tires turn in the desired direction. Also, you will most likely notice extra play while trying to keep the vehicle straight.
